Located on Broad and High Streets, the capitol is considered to be one of the best examples of Doric architecture in the United States. The 1861 building features a large flat topped drum tower covering an interior dome. The drum tower was originally designed to support an exterior dome and cupola, but those plans were abandoned. It contains historical documents, portraits and other works commemorating Ohio's noted governors and U.S. Presidents. A painting of the Great Seal of Ohio is in the center of the rotunda dome.
